Meticulously maintained real US model Type-R, #269 of only 1027 produced this year, and of approx. 1400 total ever made in the classic Championship White.  Clean title, not a salvage!  Never crashed, never broken into.

What can I say, it's just time.  Though I'm the third owner, I've owned this car for over 11 years now, and I need to move on.  As you can see from the pictures, it's been in active competition in SCCA Solo racing (aka autocross), where it has a long winning history, with three National Tour wins, a Divisional series win, and more.  The car comes with Simpson five-point harnesses for the driver and front passenger (they clip out and fold beneath the seats so you don't have to use them on the street), a Valentine One radar locator with custom hard mount, hard-wired power, and remote display mounted under speedo, a custom fit Block-It Evolution car cover (essential for SECURITY, not just paint protection), plus factory service manual and many spare parts.  Extra rims and tires, for both competition and street, are available as well (though not included in the bid price).

Deep maintenance history with all receipts for the last ten-plus years included -- a stack almost two inches thick -- and a one-page quick-reference summary!  Front brake pads and rotors, and all front suspension bushings replaced in the last year.  Clutch and catalytic converter replaced, and shocks rebuilt and revalved in the last two years.  Motor has only 55k miles on it, and was rebuilt by Bill Brown at AEBS specifically to SCCA Solo stock rules, with all factory parts.  Motor was rebuilt in the original block, and is numbers-matching. This is as hot an engine as you're going to get SCCA stock legal!  Shocks are Koni yellows, revalved by ProParts specifically for SCCA stock class Solo racing.  Other than that, this car is bone stock and unmolested.

Comes ready to go with all the consumables race quality -- oil pan is full of Royal Purple 5W30 full synthetic, transmission is full of Redline MTL, brake fluid resevoir full of Motul RBF600, and Hawk HPS brake pads ready at all four corners.  The street tires the car comes with are Dunlop Direzza DZ-101s with about 2000 miles on them and >80% tread remaining.  Competition tires are also available separately.

These cars are rare enough in any condition to begin with, but you just won't find another this clean, original, and well maintained anywhere.  Treasure it as your unicorn, or continue its racing history and take over D-Stock in SCCA Solo competition with it!

Please see the following video for more views of the car:

In person inspection and test drive is available by appointment in the vicinity of Vista, CA 92084.  Please contact me to arrange.

Summary page of full maintenance history, containing date and mileage of all items, can also be sent to interested bidders through eBay's message system.  Please contact me if you'd like to receive that.

For those of you who saw this car listed earlier and are wondering what happened, the buyer backed out at the last minute.  The day before he was supposed to sign the loan paperwork, he found out his wife is pregnant, decided he couldn't afford both a kid and his dream car, and canceled the whole deal.  The auction ended at $12,500.  I'll take the first offer that matches that price.

Acura teams with Galpin to sport-up the 2015 TLX

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Acura used the SEMA Show this week to remind enthusiasts that it still considers itself a performance brand, teaming with Galpin Auto Sports to build a TLX that highlights Acura's sporting and racing heritage.
The TLX is painted a deep shade of blue, called Andaro, and the color will be used on the NSX supercar when it returns to the United States in 2015. It rolls on custom gray wheels with gunmetal and "liquid smoke" pieces, and they're wrapped in Pirelli P Zero rubber. The exterior design is punched up with a body kit that adds side skirts, a rear spoiler and new bumpers to create a more sinister look.
The TLX has a sport suspension kit with coilovers with 36-way adjustable damping. There's also brake upgrades and custom exhaust outlets.

MotorWeek remembers retro icons, Supra and NSX

Thu, 16 Oct 2014

It's easy to poke a joke here and there about John Davis, the long-time host of MotorWeek. His voice is so monotonous that, from time to time, if you closed your eyes, you may think it's generated via a computer. But you have to give him and the rest of the show a lot of credit. The program has been on the air for decades, giving people direct, straight-down-the middle automotive reviews.
MotorWeek's massive back catalog of reviews are slowly making their way onto YouTube, and they provide a fascinating chance to look back on how performance cars rank against their contemporaries from back in the day. Two recent additions include the show's old looks at the 1986 Toyota Supra, the dawn of the third-generation model, and the now-iconic 1991 Acura NSX.
Both reviews are interesting in their own way. These days you hear nary a negative word about the original NSX, but MotorWeek isn't afraid to point out a few flaws. And the Supra really shows the progress of suspension tuning in the intervening decades because it has some serious body roll in the corners. Scroll down to check out both videos and get a blast from the automotive past.

Honda and Acura add garage door control to Apple CarPlay, Android Auto

Tue, Oct 3 2023

You’ll soon be able to use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto in your Honda or Acura to open and close your garage door. ItÂ’s a new feature made possible through a partnership with the Chamberlain GroupÂ’s myQ Connected Garage service. Honda says that all of its 2023 and 2024 model year vehicles will be compatible with this new tech, but it also says that “millions of older Honda and Acura models supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also have compatibility.” ThatÂ’s especially great to hear that the convenience is not just going to be limited to brand-new models. As for how it works, the system is fairly straightforward. You can set a geofence that will automatically prompt you with a system notification when you get within a certain distance of your garage. Follow the onscreen instructions to open, and your garage door will do as you command. The same can be done to close your garage door. For this tech to work, Honda says that youÂ’ll need a compatible garage door opener, but thereÂ’s a good chance you already do because myQ is compatible with most openers on the market today from LiftMaster and other Chamberlain brands. If your opener is already myQ enabled, then you wonÂ’t need to do anything. However, if you have an older style, Honda says you can use a “myQ Smart Garage Control device” to upgrade it into one. Honda is offering everybody one for free if you sign up for its 30-day demo subscription of the service, so donÂ’t worry about having to buy one. However, if you do wish to continue beyond that 30-day free trial, a three-year subscription costs $129, while a five-year subscription will run you $179. The real benefit to this system is that youÂ’ll be able to open and close your garage door from anywhere, not just within the range of where your opener or car-linked button will work. Of course, myQ has a phone app that will do the same, but this allows you to do the task directly through the carÂ’s interface without needing to yank out a phone. Honda says this tech is functional as of today, so go ahead and try it out if you have all the necessary garage door tech in place.
